Every Monday, Detroit’s Slow Roll features rotating starting points, routes, and ending locations that showcase the city’s many attractions, art projects, interesting neighborhoods, architecture, and historic locations. The route is typically 9 to 14 miles (14 to 23 kilometers) and also features a charity auction such as a clothing or food drive. The Slow Roll often plans the route around major city events and festivals – making the ride a great way for people of all ages and interests to come together. The organizers also host the Detroit Bike City Expo and North American Bicycle Week.
